Riakeo Tang Ren Jie (RK-66-2502S) – Graham’s Thoughts

I won’t pretend I knew what “Tang Ren Jie” meant before I looked it up – turns out it’s Chinatown, and once you know that, the firework makes a bit more sense. Lively, a bit chaotic in the best way, and always something new happening.

Gold coconut tails open things up, breaking into golden chrysanthemum dressed with green, lemon, teal and peach – proper crowded colour palette, that. Then, without much warning, deep blue mines go off from ground level, which I’ll admit got a reaction out of me even after all these years of doing this for a living. The second act brings more coconut tails into golden spider effects – those long reaching arms of light – with red and green strobe woven through. Fifty seconds, well spent.

The detail

• 66 shots, 30mm calibre
• 50-second display
• Golden chrysanthemum: green, lemon, teal, peach
• Deep blue ground mines
• Golden spider with red and green strobe
• F2, 1.4G

Good for Chinese New Year if that’s your sort of celebration, but honestly it’ll do just as well for any night you fancy something a bit busier than usual.

25 metres back, and watch your footing if you’re stood near the ground mines.
